In Class 5-25-11

We started off class by reviewing the Rome test, sadly not all of us got A's so we can't shave Mr. Schick's head. But that's no big deal, then we got a packet to read and do answers on.

The answers were:

Inflation: A huge increase in the price of something

Diocletian: A Roman emperor from 284 to 305

Constantine: He was a Roman emperor and sometimes considered a saint because he was the first emperor to convert to Christianity.

Eastern Empire: Was the most prosperous side of the empire

Western Empire: The less-prosperous side of the empire

Edict of Milan: A letter signed by Constantine that dealt with religious tolerance

Constantinople: The imperial capital of the Roman empire

Huns: A group of people that migrated into Europe in AD 370

Attila: The ruler of the Huns

Leo I: An emperor over eastern Rome

Romulus Augustulus: The final western Emperor in 475-476

Odoacer: The king of Italy who basically ended the empire

1. Trade routes, treasuries and agriculture all dried up so Rome could no longer rely on themselves 
2. The military changed from a group of people fighting for a cause, it became a group of people just looking for a paycheck and unreliable barbarians
3. Constantine ended persecution of Christians, ordered the men of the military to have a cross put on they're sheilds
4.
